Watch photographer's brilliant slip before Birmingham took on Wolves in Championship clash

It's fair to say the job of a photographer is a difficult one, particularly when they are at a football match.

They are required to get pictures which capture the sheer drama of the contest and that can sometimes involve going the extra mile for that perfect shot.

But this photographer abandoned personal safety to achieve that as the teams came out in the crucial Championship encounter at St Andrews.

And as you can see the photographer took a bit of a tumble, forcing Birmingham captain Michael Morrison into side-stepping the man to prevent a bad accident. Thankfully the photographer dusted himself off and resumed his work.

Wolves' Leo Bonatini gave the Championship leaders the three points with his strike in the eighth minute, but it was the photographer who arguably stole the show.
